It's the perfect family fun activity—gather the kids, grandkids, or friends, and let everyone get creative! In just a few easy steps, you can create beautiful bookmarks and greeting cards perfect for gifting or spreading some holiday cheer. Let’s dive in and create something blooming lovely for the season!
Materials:
- Fresh flowers (like daisies, lavender, or tiny leaves)
- Wax paper or parchment paper
- Heavy books (or a flower press if you’re fancy)
- Scissors
- Clear contact paper, laminating sheets, or tape
- Ribbon (optional for that extra touch)
Step-by-Step:
Pick Your Flowers:Grab some fresh, flat flowers you love. Trim off extra stems, leaving just the petals and leaves.
Press 'Em Flat:Place your flowers between wax paper, then sandwich them in a heavy book (or use a flower press). Let them press for 1–2 weeks.
Cut Your Bookmark:Cut a rectangle from thick paper (about 2x6 inches) for your bookmark base.
Arrange the Flowers:Once pressed, arrange the flowers on your bookmark. Glue them down if needed (optional).
Seal It:Cover the bookmark with clear contact paper or laminate it. If you’re using tape, cover both sides with packing tape and trim the edges.
Add a Ribbon:Punch a hole at the top, tie a ribbon (or twine) through, and voila!
